can anyone suggest any ways to become more popular, so that people want to talk to me? also how is that the people you don't want to talk to you are usually the ones that do talk to you and the ones that you want some kinda conversation with will just say "hi"?

If you want the cool way to be popular then be yourself and find someone thats interested in the same thing you are. Try talking to someone if you find they don't like you or you don't like them then don't talk to them again. If you want the lame way then start dressing like them and pretend you like what they do and start hating everyone they hate. I chose the cool way and I made a friend in Kindergarden... 10 years later and were in High School at lunch and we have the most friends sitting at one table! Trust me we are not considered completly popular but we don't care, because we have tons of fun together! Don't worry of what people think of you and be yourself!!!

Confidence. We're all insecure in our own ways, but those that can either mask it believably or can simply rise above those nervous tendencies will naturally attract more people. You can't be concerned about what people are going to think of you if you're just being you. Otherwise they're not friends and that's not popularity. Devoted Dad is right in theory. It is about being yourself, but take up hobbies that you enjoy. Get involved in things (ie: at school, recreationally, in your community). The more people you meet in general will open up more friendships. It's easier to strike up a conversation when you realize you have something in common with that person. You have to put yourself out there a bit to let people know what you're about and who you are.

The only way to become more popular is to be your self because when you see the group of kids you want to hang out wit it might come off to them as if your trying to hard..I know I know it sounds like something a parent would say but trust me.. just be yourself or you can just like involve yourself into the activities that the "popular" kids do (i.e. cheering,basketball,hanging out) whatever, but I just wanted to tell you dat it is not always the best thing to be known by everyone or to be friends with popular people because they might not be the type of people you think they are so that is my advice.

Honestly? Be yourself. People who like you for being yourself are going to be drawn to you. People who are drawn to popular people are just looking for a way in to being cool. It's a waste of time to try and be popular. I learned this in high school. I wasn't the coolest, but I found it humbling after high school how many people I didn't really know always thought that I was a really great guy. Be honest with yourself, and don't try to be someone else. Be comfortable with who you are, you'll be happier I promise.

There isn't really a magic way to become popular. Be yourself and be comfortable with who you are. Make friends and don't abandon your old friends.

Develop relationships. As you begin to meet people, don’t just treat them as items on a checklist. Find out what they like to do, their interests, and learn about them as people. You’re trying to make friends, not just be known. Also, be sure to keep in touch with your old friend you don’t want them to think you’ve forgotten about them just because you’re making new ones. Don’t exclude anyone.

Realize that you are not Superwoman and can't be all things to everybody....Just be yourself and you will find real friends. Don't contort yourself like Gumby to accommodate people either. They either accept you for who you are or they don't.
